Good advice Cecil, I should have said that!  I have only used one or the
other.  Also, I feel it is important to only give medicine if the sheep
really needs it and to discontinue medication as soon as possible.  I
usually discontinue medication as soon as the sheep decides to join the
living!  The more the sheep fights me the sooner I quit the medication.  It
is most disheartening when a sheep no longer cares what happens to them.
Every medication has a good and bad side to them so use with care.

<<<<<<<<<<DO NOT MIX BANAMINE AND DEXAMETHASONE  >>>>>>>>>>>

I learned the hard way that if you use one do not also give the other.  
1/4 cc of banamine every other day should be plenty.  Too much Banamine 
and you get ulcerated stomach and intestines.  Make sure she is getting 
enough water with that much penn. Iodine will take care of most topcal 
infections.
